Growing

When we moved into the new house, we brought over our IKEA braided tree that we purchased when we first lived in our apartment over 3 years ago. This little tree has always been pretty hearty, despite not getting the best sunlight and it hasn't ever been re-potted, but the day that we moved in December was in the single digits, and that seemed to be the end of the braided tree. It's leaves were all falling off and many of it's branches were turning brown, but L and I continued to water it for the next couple of weeks before deciding that it was time to start thinking of throwing it out. A few days later, I was looking at it more closely, and noticed that it was starting to bud new leaves! They were tiny, but it was something!



Now, just a few weeks later, the braided plant is thriving and basking in the sunlight in our front living room.


This tree is proof that apparently I don't kill all plants, which gives me hope for gardening this spring!
